Our world is broken. Why? Could it be that dark forces which have influenced mankind from our earliest days still affect us today? What do those forces look like? Where did they come from? How do we fight them? In "The Idols on the Hills," author Phillip C. Brainerd takes us on a journey from the earliest days of humanity recorded in the Bible up through the present day. Along the way, we learn vitally important things about God, ourselves, and our world. Phillip C. Brainerd holds a degree in Voice and Drama from Indiana University, a Master of Software Engineering from Pennsylvania State University, and a Doctor of Ministry from Westminster Theological Seminary. With this diverse training, Phil has served in numerous roles including Pastor, Counselor, Actor, Social Worker, Software Developer, and College Instructor (teaching classes in both computer and religion). His years spent working with ministry, social work, and computers have allowed him a unique perspective on the problems of the world. He draws from Ministry, Theology, The Bible, and Science for solutions. You can follow Phil's work by visiting his website: www.PhilBrainerd.com

First published in 1987, Educating for a Computer Age examines the evolving role of teachers in a rapidly changing society, offering insights and guidelines for future action. The book sets the stage for the electronic revolution of the time, providing an in-depth analysis of its driving force—the computer—alongside advancements in microelectronics and telecommunications. It delves into the internal workings of humanity, exploring our needs, ability to process information, and interaction with our surroundings. The text considers the tasks humans are expected to perform and the ways we extend ourselves through external tools, introducing the computer as a potential “fourth brain”—the ultimate extension of human capability. The book further investigates the application of computers and information technology in education, proposing a critical role for teachers in shaping the future. It argues that educators must embrace this role, as they are uniquely positioned to act as catalysts and disseminators of positive change in a transforming world. Addressing the identity crisis faced by the teaching profession, the book emphasizes the need for teachers to recognize their pivotal role in guiding society through technological transitions. As we now navigate another technological revolution—artificial intelligence, this book remains a valuable resource for educators and teachers. Its timeless perspectives on the intersection of technology and education offer valuable insights for those seeking to understand and adapt to the challenges of our changing world.
In The Man Who Tried to Prove Too Much, Philip Hills provides an unflinching account of what it takes to reflect on one’s life and achievements. Philip Hills had an unquenchable thirst for success. Always driving forwards without stopping to reflect, Philip was blissfully unaware that he was fuelled by past hurts and fears. Until the day his life changed forever. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Philip sets course for the biggest journey of his life: a reckoning with his past that becomes a powerful tool for healing, not just for Philip but for those around him, too. In this beautifully honest and soul-searching book, Philip looks back on a life motivated by a dream and a deep drive, and asks us to reflect on the true meaning of success and self-fulfilment.
Higher education has both supporters and detractors, although not in equal numbers. Some would have us believe that our higher education enterprise is on the brink of disaster, that it's falling apart at the seams. Some go so far as to call the system broken beyond repair, suggesting that it be rebuilt from the ground up. Can it be this bad? Drawing on his long experience in higher ed administration, the author examines the sea change that's affected nearly every corner of the higher learning landscape. These corners include the high-and-rising costs of tuition, the crushing levels of student debt, the shamefully low graduation rates in too many schools, the growing "million-dollar clubs" whose members include university presidents and football and basketball coaches, the inadequacies of accreditation, and the growing influence of partisan politics in the conduct of our public universities. That's for starters. With an insider's perspective, the author paints a picture that is up-front and honest, laying bare the depth and extent of specific problems confronting that crucial engine of our economy - higher education. In each case, he spells out what needs a tune-up and what needs something closer to an overhaul. Of course, he offers specific proposals for 'fixing' those problems. They're likely to be controversial, but the author hopes they spark a debate that ultimately leads to productive solutions.

The House of the Virgin Mary: The Miraculous Story of Its Journey from Nazareth to a Hillside in Italy
Godfrey Phillips
Sophia Institute Press
2017

Come to know the house of the Virgin Mary which, according to numberless saints, scores of popes, and many official documents of the Vatican (and to protect it from the depredations of the Saracens) was in the late 1200s miraculously transported from Mary's village of Nazareth to a hillside in Italy. In this house, the Virgin Mary herself was born, she was saluted by the angel Gabriel, and Jesus himself became flesh. There he spent the first twelve years of his life. Rev. G.E. Phillips' book, The House of the Virgin Mary, is the comprehensive tale of the Holy House in Nazareth, and its miraculous transport to Loreto, Italy - a delightful book that carefully lays out the evidence for the miracle and affords you detailed, convincing answers to those who have challenged it. You'll learn about: Its veneration in Nazareth before it mysteriously disappeared, leaving only its foundation Its sudden, miraculous appearance on a hillside in Italy, dismaying local residents How amazed Italians used exacting detective skills in Italy and later in Palestine to discover where the house had come from How believers have venerated Our Lady of Loreto and revered her Holy House for over 700 years now (shouldn't you, too?) The story of the fifteenth century erection of a magnificent basilica over the humble Holy House and the sixteenth century enclosing of the fragile structure in a grand marble encasement The cure in the Holy House of two Popes in succession (and the tale of many other miracles witnessed there) Among the evidence brought forth in this powerful book are: Scores of quotations from 13th century witnesses, and from hundreds of scholars and visitors in the seven centuries since then Other original sources from three nations: letters, wills, testimony, summaries, official reports from ancient archives, and documents (including encyclicals) from the Vatican itself testifying to the authenticity of the miracle and the merit of devotion to the Holy House and Our Lady of Loreto. Believers will be thrilled and consoled by the evidence presented here; skeptics will have their skepticism tempered and many will even come to see the truth about the Holy House: it is a miraculous dwelling, testimony in stone to the loving power of our God. That's why pontiff after pontiff has encouraged belief in the miraculous transport of the Holy House to Italy and why the same belief has been rapturously adopted by a host of saints including many Doctors of the Church. Over 45 popes have sanctioned the story of the transport, including Popes Benedict XII, Blessed Urban V, Urban VI, Pope Paul II, Julius II, Leo X, St. Pius V, Gregory XIII, Sixtus V, Clement VIII, Clement X, Innocent XII, Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, and many others. Countless saints, too, have gone on pilgrimage there, including St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Ignatius, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, St. Stanislaus Kostka, St. Francis of Sales, St. Benedict Labre, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Th r se of Lisieux, and others. Perhaps it's finally time for you to learn about Our Lady of Loreto and her Holy House, and to receive from devotion to them the many new heavenly graces and benefits the Church promises will be yours.
Horace is a poet of surprising contradictions who lived through the most dramatic period of social and political revolution in Rome. From fighting on the losing side in the civil war, he became a confidant of his recent enemies. From humble beginnings as the son of a freedman, he rocketed to the very centre of the Roman establishment. Though he is often regarded as morally and politically conservative, his love poetry is played against the backdrop of a hedonistic, bisexual demi-monde. The strident voice of some of the nationalistic odes contrasts with the quieter melancholic tone of the personal lyrics, with their timeless meditations on the nature of friendship, morality and mortality. A poet of dazzling technical brilliance, Horace introduced the metrical complexities of Greek lyric poetry to the Latin language on a scale never previously contemplated. We know more of his life and background than any other ancient poet and his voice has echoed down the ages as a wise comforter and urbane friend to poets and statesmen alike. This introduction embraces all of these aspects and more, assessing the profound and lasting impact of Horace on the culture of the western world.
